Her Man with Iceberg Eyes — Kris Pearson

Kate Pleasance needs to flee her home city of Auckland and create a new life away from family stress and infidelity. Might the advertisement seeking a ‘Superwoman' be her answer? Short-listed, she's flown to the vibrant winter tourist resort of Queenstown at her prospective employer's expense. Snow is dusting the mountain tops as the jet glides in, and she's shocked to be collected by tall, dark internet billionaire Matthew McLeod. Where is the woman she spoke with on the phone?

Kate is driven first to hospital to meet his injured sister, and then to their magnificent home to stay the night. Lottie is a world-famous painter, and Kate craves the job as her assistant, but she's totally unsettled by charismatic Matthew who teases her unmercifully. Knowing she's dangerously attracted, she vows to refuse the job, should it be offered, and run like hell.

After a disastrous first marriage, Matthew has lived in a freezing void. His duplicitous ex-wife chose him for his money, and when she tried to blackmail him he swiftly divorced her and swore off future entanglements. He's buried himself in his work to keep the demons at bay, but now there's a potent new threat tearing at his resolve.

Although she's plainly diving for cover, job-seeker Kate is dragging his ruthlessly suppressed emotions back to the surface. Temptation he's easily shrugged off in the past now eats him alive. Can he persuade her to stay long enough to fan the smouldering sparks between them until they burst into white-hot flames?

Note from Kris: MELTING HIS HEART is the first in my Heartlands trilogy. Set in the spectacular rural scenery of New Zealand, these novels take you to faraway places where real men and women seek lasting love â€" sometimes against daunting odds. If you enjoy romance that leaps off the page â€" funny, furious and feel-good â€" then download this sizzling hot story now â€" and be sure to follow it with CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY HEARTS and COWBOY WANTS HER HEART.

All my books can be read as stand-alones, and there are no cliff-hangers. The Heartlands books are best read as shown above, but you can read the Wellington stories in any order.
